I like nonfiction.
I like self-improvement podcasts.
Heck, I like all things personal growth related.
But, sometimes…
I like blasting good music, thumb drumming, air guitaring, and forgetting about all of that.
It’s called balance.
There’s ALWAYS something that could be placed more urgently above the important tasks of the day.
Which means you could easily NEVER get to the important work.
In fact, this is precisely the case for far too many.
Don’t be a victim of urgent.
Today marked one of the first times I can recall…
Where I felt irritable and anxious…
And told myself…
I’m going to need to double my meditation time today.
This, I’d say, is an excellent marker of progress for my own mental health awareness.
Sometimes you have to sacrifice doing what you want so you can do what you should.
Not making that sacrifice means prioritizing wants over shoulds.
If that’s you, don’t be surprised when the people who do make that sacrifice get ahead.
You can’t have it both ways.
It never ceases to amaze me how much we can creatively express when we simply give ourselves the space and time to do so.
Fight the big battles on the inside And the big battles on the outside Suddenly won’t feel so big anymore
Every interaction is an opportunity:
I hope you’ll fully capitalize on the bountiful opportunities of your day.
